Reunion

Just when you think the world is against you, something odd happens ... like in my example been invited to a "get together" with some old school friends or old school enemies, its hard to put a label on it. I wasn't really planning on going, been invited is one thing, been seen there is another. You have to keep in mind that just 2 years ago there had been a huge blow out between me and them, and after a year and half of silence i finally figured since we were about to graduate high school i should put it behind me, move on and try to mend the damage. So during our last days at school we put all the crap behind us and hung out, also ended up re-uniting a 4 year feud which was a complete shock. Even tho we all said we'd put everything behind us i still didn't feel like i did before it all began, so after school finished i didn't really keep in touch with them, there was the short and sweet conversations online, but this was a very rare occurrence since we'd gone our own ways and there was really nothing keeping us together.

On Friday night, my neighbor and very long time friend, came around and convinced me to go, and reassured me that if anything were to go wrong, he'd be there to take me home. So i ended up going, and ended up seen another old friend at the video store so i invited him and his girlfriend to come along with us, since i hadn't seen him in two years. It than came to me that this might not be too bad. So when we got there, i saw all these people who i hadn't seen in over a year and it brought back all the fun that i had during those last days of school.

It came as a surprise that everyone who knew me there was really happy to see me, I was no way expecting such a warm welcome. It made the thought of actually been there that much more manageable. I instantly felt like i was back in year 10 before everything had turned a 180. I even got a apology from my x-best friend, so in return i spent the rest of the night looking after her and helping her sober up so her mum wouldn't know how much she was drinking.

I ended up catching up with a lot of my old friends, had many good conversations and realized that not only life changes after high school but people do as well, the majority do anyways. I actually had a really good time, such a good time that i was one of the last few people to go home. I wouldn't mind doing it all again. I guess I learn't that i should try before i judge and back out.

Till next :)

A Short Bio

My name is Reggie, I'm 18 and graduated from High School last year, I've spent this year not really doing anything, i went to Europe at the start of the year to visit all of my family for 3 months, which was an awesome experience, after not seen them in 11 years it was good, gave me a chance to figure out what i wanted to do with my life and how to be my own person and not be controlled by peers or the society around me. I also had my 18th birthday with everyone who has known me since i was little, it was by far a birthday to remember.

After spending time there i came to the decision that i wanted to be a Cardio/Thoracic Surgeon, which came to a surprise to many people, since before that i wanted to get into Graphic Design Advertising and Game Making, but i figured after spending a lot of time with my grandma who's a Nurse, that it would be a challenge that without a doubt i could tackle.

Unfortunately in early October, my grandma unexpectedly passed away after been very sick, which meant that life as i knew it was about to change forever, It's almost scary how much changes with the death of just one person. Reality gave me a nice smack in the face that day, Since than it's made me think more about what goes on in the world, not just whats around me. For anyone who knows me they know that, once i get set on a project i don't give up so easy, I like to be well informed on a subject before i throw all thoughts about it out the window. I like learning and I like to think i have an understanding of what could be or could have been.

I figure you all should know that I'm a very patient person, who is happy and has a positive out look on life and is very easy to get along with, I'm not quick to judge and always up for a good conversation :) I'm also what you would call a TV show junkie, there is roughly 20 - 25 shows I'm really into and can tell you just about anything you want to know about them, I tend to store more useless information than things that i need to remember, But don't we all?

Until next time, Take care.
